Seattle Presents Gallery
Seattle Municipal Tower, at the corner of 5th Avenue and Columbia Street
Seattle Presents brings the city's cultural vibrancy to the Downtown core. Here the City will present a variety of immersive installations, curated exhibitions pulled from the City's Portable Works Collection, resident artists, and original artworks. Seattle is a city driven by creativity. This space will present both emerging and established artists and curators, and will attempt to provide all who pass by the opportunity to engage in diverse arts and cultural experiences.
Current Exhibition
Seattle Presents: Juan Alonso-Rodríguez
January 19 — March 20, 2015
I recently had a dream my job was designing swimming pools based on my client's favorite shapes and colors, so I've decided to temporarily make that dream come true.
I will be asking for simple drawings of what you (willing participants) would imagine your ideal swimming pool to look like and will create various sized paintings based on the audience's input. The finished paintings will gradually fill the walls of the gallery.

One of my friend replacing their old hot bathtub/spa tub (6x6ft and 2-3ft deep) and asked me whether I can use it in the Garden. Suddenly a nice water garden or fish pond come to my imagination. I thinking to replace our small water pond with this hot tub. I just wonder any of you recycled hot bathtub (spa tub) for water garden? Any tips and suggestions are most welcome.

i dont have a pond yet, been researching. seen a few posters here with a spa/bath tub pond. |
Thank you houston, I searched and not find any link to real pictures or DIY things on how to convert hot spa tub to garden. Below is the picture of the free tub I am getting from a friend. After looking at the tub in his backyard, looks great, seems no water leakage as all connections are intact and good conditions. You can see some dirt, as kept it upside down to protect it from weather. We love water garden very much, especially sounds of the flowing waterfalls and fountains, nigh lights, and of course koi and gold fish and water lilies. Some ideas and picture about converting this tub to water garden would be great. Thanks -Chandra |
Wow! Great color for pond background (as soon as you get rid of the white thingies). There has to be some info out there--keep us posted--very exciting idea, I think. |

My wife has a tank, pond, whatever, made from an old hot tub. She expended a lot of effort plugging the holes but it has worked fine now for a few years. It has a drain in the very bottom and she hooked it up to a garden hose fixture so I water all my plants with fish water. |
albert_135, Thanks you. Could you please post couple of picture or DIY of your would help me! Drain in the very bottom is nice idea, so that we won't waste any water! |
Albert_135 and folks, Could you please give some info on what types of materials used in plugging the jet holes? I need to close those Jet holes in the hot tub, Please suggested some good material but bit economic. I searched online, many suggested to use PVC cement, Epoxy putty, but they are good for small cracks and holes, but these Jet holes are big and many, need lot of sealant to close them all. Any suggestion would be great help. regards -Chandra |

biradarcm, my wife did not use any putty or fillers. She was able to cap the pipes to the holes on the outside with PVC fittings. Because of the variation in sizes it took a lot of shopping and tinkering. |
Thanks Albert. One of the folks in AP suggested to use Great Stuff's Pond and Rock foam insulation to plug the jet holes. I thinks that sounds cool. |
- Posted by albert_135 Sunset 2 or 3 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 15, 12 at 13:57
biradarcm, did you get it up and running? Is it white fiberglass on the inside? If it is white fiberglass do you get a dark green algae(?) that is difficult to remove. We get a dark green algae, for want of a better name, growing on the inside that is difficult to scrape off but the fish just love eating chunks of it. Don't know if it is healthful for the fish or not. |
Albert, yes did it, tuned out to be one of the beautiful pond. It is green fiberglass. I not see much alge building up after putting aquatic plants, it looks like water hyacinth is doing magic. here is pic of the pond take a month ago. -Chandra |
Hard to say from the description but sounds like that algae is part of a balanced pond environment. Not sure why you'd want to scrape it off (?) |
Thanks for showing us the results, it came out great. |

I love the cement block garden! That's really a nice pond. |
What did you use to close off the jet holes? |
- Posted by pashta_2006 Z4 ADK NY (email@example.com) on Mon, Jul 16, 12 at 16:06
Great Job Chandra. I like the cinderblock garden too. Gosh, do you think it would be noticed if I did something like this to our hot tub? LOL |

LOVE the retaining blocks!!!! How adorable is this!!!! That waterfall is perfection!!! |

I just came across this posting and was trying to send a message to birardarcm but it was rejected. I want to make a water garden/fish pond out of my old jacuzzi but can't find any information on plugging the holes so I can fill it up. If anyone has any information ... I could use some advice. Thanks. |
Hello I'm new to the site. I have been given a hot tub and i am trying to figure out how to turn it into a fish pond It cracked over winter so I'm just going to seal it.. It works ... So can I use the jets and it has a little built in waterfall ???I know the jets are powerful so I would have to find a way to weaken them.... Any ideas.... I would like to use as much as the original hot tub as possible . |
Katology---My old spa was a closed system, there were no holes to be plugged. Unless yours broke or cracked? Kimmer--make sure whatever you use to seal it is fish safe. On most spas, you can adjust the jet flow by turning the jets themselves--probably clockwise to lower pressure, widdershins to increase. This is such a cool idea, wish I'd thought of it when my spa conked out. It's long gone, now! |

Lakai.. what happened??
If you're buying these shoes to actually skate, don't! I had a pair of the kostone's a while back and they we're amazing, the sole had great feel and lasted forever. The new lakaitning sole is sh*t! i had them for 2 weeks and the whole side peeled away from the sole. These shoes look sick, but the quality just isn't there.

ABC shutters ''Selfie'' not even halfway through season 1; it's not the first time a show was cut down when it still had a chance to grow
Number of Episodes: 7
ABC's Pygmalion update got off to a shaky start, thanks to a pilot boasting stale references and one exceedingly gross set piece. But it didn't take long for the show to transcend its initial premise (''the Internet is making us monsters!'') and become something less gimmicky and more character-based. Stars Karen Gillan and John Cho proved themselves to have an unforced, scorching chemistry, and they were surrounded by a dynamic ensemble that only would have grown richer with time. Unfortunately, this vast improvement wasn't enough to sway the network. Dislike! Hillary Busis

We are in the middle of a kitchen renovation that includes the installation of a slate floor.
We selected a grey Brazilian slate (ember ash from American slate) and the installer is probably 75% complete with the tile. He will soon be sealing the tile prior to grouting. We were initially planning to use a impregnating sealer (aqua mix Sealers choice gold) but are now rethinking everything....including whether slate was a good selection. While cleaning the tile we saw a 4" scratch. Testing scrap pieces, this slate scratches very easily. So easy that we are alarmed and approaching panicked. We vacuumed some debris off the tile and the vacuum cleaner scratched the tile! Is there a sealer that will help manage the inevitable scratches? Would an enhancing sealer be best? |

I have a 40 year old slate entry way in my home. Yes, it shows the years. You either embrace the patina of slate, or you rip it all out now and pick something like porcelain if you want it to always look new. |
Trust this~Slate WILL scratch. If you want the "distressed" look, you got it..... |

Well, finally something that I have experience fixing (I used to fix comcast internet issues at a call center for a living)... but from the sounds of things, it looks like you've done the right thing by calling their tech support.
Got to ask a few questions though:
Do you use a Router?
If you do, have you tried hooking your computer directly to your modem?
If you have done that, do you still get the same issue?
When this issue happens, (And I'm asking this assuming you're using a Motorolla SURFboard Modem, like the SB5102, this is the modem I have at home) What lights are flashing on the modem? Normal activity has 4 solid green lights, and a flashing orange activity light.
What operating system do you use and are the drivers for your network card up to date? (if you're a Comcast Customer, the minimum OS you should have is WinXP SP3 or OSX 10.5 or 10.6, this may have changed since the last time I've done this kind of work)
Now, if it is packet loss, there could be any number of reasons:
The cable infrastructure in your area may be lousy (very likely, the one in the service area I was in was, the Greater Chicago Area), Comcast are very cheap MoFo's, and your cable in your neighbourhood may be 10-25 years old, or more.
The Levels for the signal being sent to your house may be too high (over powering the modem, causing it to reset), or too low (causing the modem to lose connection, causing it to reset).
Your modem may be faulty.
Answer these questions and I can help you further, but eventually, you're going to have to phone them to get it fixed, regardless of the help you get from me, because this sounds like a hardware issue on Comcasts End.
If this is an issue with Comcast, you're going to have to prove that it is to get any help out of them, and to do that, you have to eliminate your computer from the issue, here's how you do that:
- If you have more then one computer in the house, try and replicate the issue on that computer.
- Make sure your computers OS and all network drivers are up to date.
- Make sure your computers virus scanners and firewalls are either properly configured or disabled, and try and replicate the issue.
- The next time this happens, try power cycling your modem. To do that, make sure your computer isn't making any requests form the internet, like downloading or anything of that nature and follow these steps:
Once you do that, wait to see if the issue happens again
- Unplug your modem's power supply
- Wait 5-10 seconds
- Plug the modem back in and wait for all 4 green lights to turn solid green.
If you've done all that, the issue's with Comcast.
When they do come to fix the issue, it most likely involve a Tech coming out and adjusting the levels being sent to your house, and/or replacing your modem if need be.

Page 3 vs breast cancer
Stars join our campaign and help to save lives
HELEN Flanagan has joined thousands of Brits all over the country in supporting our Check 'em Tuesday campaign to help save lives from breast cancer.
Our iconic Page 3 has joined forces with breast cancer awareness charity CoppaFeel! to help boost early detection of the disease - the UK's most common cancer - by encouraging women to get to know their breasts.
Hundreds of readers joined celebrities to cop a feel of their boobs, before posting photos of them on Facebook or Twitter using the hashtag #checkemtuesday.
And Sun Best Boobs winner Helen was just one of a host of stars including Towie stars Gemma Collins, Billie Faiers, Joey Essex , A1 singer Ben Adams and Apprentice winner Dr Leah Totton who took time out to post a selfie.
Former page 3 girl Peta Todd, who recently spoke of her cervical cancer scare, pledged her support as did former Corrie star Adam Rickitt.
Our columnists Lorraine Kelly and Katie Hopkins both posted pics on Twitter urging people to join the drive.
And Birds of a Feather star Linda Robson posed for a pic.
TV star Dr Hilary Jones urged men out there to be breast aware to avoid late detection.
And Sun readers all over the country didn't disappoint, using their voice and posting pics to get across the important message.
In Newcastle city centre, student Caleb Jones, 21, said: "The campaign is a fantastic thing to do as it is important that awareness is raised around breast cancer. It will help a lot of people.
"People need to be much more confident to go and get themselves checked and not be embarrassed about it."
Barmaid Patricia Rudd, 64, from nearby Gateshead, who has been given the all-clear from oesophagus cancer, said: "I was diagnosed with oesophagus cancer and four years ago I was told it was gone. I think it's because I caught it really early and I got the treatment as soon as I could.
"There shouldn't be any second guessing when it comes to it. If you feel even the slightest of changes you should go straight to your doctor. Cancer is taking far too many people due to ignorance."
Page 3's Rosie Jones helped launch Check 'em Tuesday – revealing: "I had no idea how to check my boobs."
And each Tuesday our famed Page 3 will be dedicated to reminding readers to be "boob aware" and to check for signs of the disease.
Readers can also receive free text messages reminding them to check themselves once a month.
SUN Editor David Dinsmore and Kris Hallenga explain why Page 3 is joining forces with charity CoppaFeel! for a new breast cancer awareness campaign
Fifty thousand women — around 136 a day — plus 400 men are diagnosed every year with breast cancer. Early detection is key to survival.
If diagnosed at stage one, the earliest stage, the chance of survival beyond five years is 90 per cent.
If found at stage four, this drops to ten per cent. Yet millions of Brits are CLUELESS when it comes to checking themselves.
An exclusive Sun poll revealed just 18 per cent of women are completely confident they know how to examine their boobs for changes.
And only 23 per cent feel absolutely sure they would notice a change. Rosie confessed: "I had no idea I should be checking my boobs regularly and making it a habit — which is crazy considering I use my boobs to make a living.
"I hope that each week all the Page 3 girls can encourage Britain to check 'em on a Tuesday."
Check 'em Tuesday aims to encourage Brits to get to know their boobs, raise awareness of breast cancer signs and symptoms and empower people to visit their GP if they notice a change in their breasts.
Currently only 52 per cent would do so with any abnormality.
CoppaFeel! founder Kris Hallenga is leading the charge to stamp out late detection.
Now 28, she was diagnosed with breast cancer at 23. By then it had spread to her spine and was at stage four. There is no stage five.
Kris, whose cancer is incurable, said: "I want to live in a world where all breast cancers are diagnosed at the earliest possible stage, where treatments are more successful and survival rates are higher.
"That's why CoppaFeel! is partnering with The Sun to launch Check 'em Tuesday.
"Every week we will be delivering life-saving messages that will reach millions of people.
"Page 3's are the most famous boobs in Britain and will act as a fantastic reminder to all Sun readers to get to know their breasts."
Sun Editor David Dinsmore said: "Twelve thousand women die of breast cancer every year — mothers, sisters and daughters — which makes it a big issue for our readers, and The Sun is all about big issues.
"Through the iconic power of Page 3 I hope all our readers will check 'em." The campaign is also backed by Rosie's Page 3 pals including Lacey Banghard, 21, India Reynolds, 24, and 21-year-old Nicole Neal.
Lacey said: "Check 'em Tuesday is a great idea."
Nicole added: "I'm 100 per cent behind the campaign. Everyone should get to know their boobs — it could save your life."
India said: "My aunt had breast cancer so this issue is very important to me."
Our poll also showed women check their WEIGHT far more often than their breasts, with 18 per cent checking their boobs every other week — compared with 43 per cent who hop on the scales.
And many women ignore signs that should be checked by a GP. Nineteen per cent said they would hope a breast problem went away rather than seek help.
Just under half (48 per cent) would not go to the doctor if they thought they had found something.Young women are less likely to be boob aware, with just nine per cent of 18- to 24-year-olds saying nothing would stop them seeing a GP if they discovered a symptom.
Kris went to the doctor repeatedly before she was finally diagnosed — having been told the pain in her breast was hormonal.
She said: "I was ignorant of the signs. I didn't even think women my age could get breast cancer.
"After my diagnosis I did lots of research and realised no-one was targeting young people like me. So I set up CoppaFeel!.
"We know that scaring young people about the dangers of breast cancer doesn't work and could discourage them from checking.
"CoppaFeel! aims to communicate to a younger audience in a way that resonates with them, keeping the message fun and bold, and we think Page 3 is perfect for this.
"Our message is simple — start checking regularly now while you're young and start a habit that could one day save your life."
Our three key aims
1. To encourage women to get to know their boobs better
2. To raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer
3. To empower people to visit their GP if they notice a change in their breasts

Do you bake your cheesebake in a hot water bath?
Cook's illustrated says to bake it that way? What is your opinion on this? I am afraid the water will leak into the crust, even though you wrap the springform pan in aluminum foil. TIA. |
Follow-Up Postings:
No, I never have and have never had a problem. What do they say is the advantage?? RL` |
- Posted by Ginger_St_Thomas (My Page) on Mon, Nov 17, 03 at 5:29
I've done lots of desserts in a Bain Marie but never a cheesecake. If the pan is wrapped in foil, the water shouldn't get in, though. Is this supposed to keep it from cracking? |
I have baked many cheesecakes and I just do like Ginger said above, wrap the pan in foil so the water will not leak in. This gives you a moist, more even heat which helps to prevent cracking. I have never had one crack on me. Marilyn |
I don't use a bain marie when baking a cheese cake...but I do with other custard-ish desserts in a bath. I would guess it would depend on the cheese cake recipe....mine is the classic NY cheese cake.....just cream cheese eggs sugar and vanilla. But a recipe using a lot of sour cream...or heavy cream, might need a bain marie. Linda C |

OK Marilyn - let's pass that one around - it looks delicious, now I am craving a cheesecake. |
Marilyn, would you share that recipe please? Looks just beautiful, and delicious! |
Sure will Sylvia: East Coast Cheesecake 1 2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs Coat the inside of a spring form pan with shortening. Combine crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar and butter in and press on sides and bottom of pan; refrigerate. Preheat oven to 500°. Beat together cream cheese, 1 3/4 cups sugar and flour with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time beating on low speed until incorporated, scraping bowl between additions. Mix in sour cream and vanilla. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Pan will be full. Place a pan of water on the rack under the cheese cake, baking the cake in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes at 500° then reduce heat to 200° and continue to bake without opening oven door for 1 hour. Check cake. It should be brown on top. Continue to bake until slightly wobbly when pan is gently shaken, about another 35 or 40 minutes. Remove from oven and run a knife around top edge of cake to loosen (this will prevent the cake from cracking as it cools). Cool cake completely in spring form pan on a rack at room temperature, about 3 hours. Refrigerate cake covered loosely with wax paper for at least 6 hours. Remove side of pan and bring to room temperature before serving. Will keep for approximately 2 weeks refrigerated. And then there is this west coast cheesecake that is just as amazing: Hollywood Two-Tone Cheese Cake CRUST: Combine crust ingredients thoroughly. Grease 9-inch round pan with shortening (I use a spring form pan). Cover sides of pan with 1 cup having it come up 1-inch from the top of pan. Press remaining in bottom. Refrigerate while preparing part 1. Combine part 1 ingredients with electric mixer until smooth (beat 2 to 3 minutes). Spread into pan. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, place on rack; stand at room temperature 15 minutes. Raise oven temperature to 475°. About 2 minutes before 15 minutes standing time is up, prepare second part of filling. With a spoon mix part 2 ingredients until well blended. Pour over 1st part, starting from side to center, spread evenly and gently. Bake at 475° about 10 minutes. Let stand at room temperature on rack for 5 to 6 hours before releasing from pan. Loosen crumbs on sides of pan allowing them to drop on edge of cake. Remove cake carefully or serve from pan. Do not cut until the following day. Cover with waxed paper and store in coldest part of refrigerator for 12 hours or longer. Keeps 3 to 4 days. Cake is about 1 1/4-inch high. Tip: When baking cake, place a pan of hot water under cake on lower rack. This will prevent cake from cracking. Enjoy!!! |
- Posted by eileen_launonen (My Page) on Mon, Dec 1, 03 at 10:01
I always use a bai marie....take your spring form pan and cover bottom with aluminum foil 1/2 way up the sides put about 1 inch of water in the pan its helps in the cheesecake staying moist and prevents cracking |

BTW - The Lava Flow she told me was a 4 tip is actually a 5 tip! Really looking forward to all of them, can't decide which one I'm looking forward to more! |
Cannot wait...but have not heard from her yet from the e-mail I sent this a.m. getting so excited about spring and finding someone who has some of the ones on my wish list of 65...mahalo, roxanne |
Many, many thanks Emily for your kind words and recommendation!! I'm very glad you like your new "babies" !! |
Hi Roxanne, Sorry I missed your mail. I'll check it once more and if you would, please resend to: firstname.lastname@example.com Thanks much Roxanne! mea |

very nice! Lava flow is on my want list, along with a million others. Tally Ho! |
Cannot wait to order and those really do look great! How long? 22 inches? roxanne |

Hi Emily, I also ordered from Michelle and I was also very pleased ! My Butterfly Gold cutting is a beauty and she sent a freebie as well ... A beautiful Maui Sunset. ( rooted.). Great packaging and fast mailing too! Thanks Michelle! Take care, Laura |

Nice score, Emily!! Your collection is growing quickly and early, and you were so reserved last season! Probably cause we all spent our money right at the start, lol!! Enjoy, |
Hi Tally!!! Yes, I'm really excited about Lava Flow, I've been eyeballing that one for a long time! I think the Texas heat should really bring out the colors! Hi Laura!!! I'm so glad to hear you got a Butterfly Gold, what a beauty! I know if anyone can make that baby bloom it's you! I was so excited when I found out Michelle had that one, it's not that easy to find. She was ever so patient when I would bombard her with. "Do you have this one? What about this one?..." haha! Glad to hear you had a great experience also! Hi Wendy!!! **SIGH** Yes, I was reserved and held it together last year pretty well...this year I have totally gone nuts! I think I have pretty much bought all I can for the season and it hasn't even truly kicked off yet! More time to mature this season though and I am really thrilled with the ones I have. I used to say the seedlings don't really count...oh, but they do. Some of my barely going on 1 yr old seedlings are almost as big as some of my regular plants! Wendy how are you doing? And I'm curious how going into business has affected your personal plumie collection and care, has it changed anything for you? |
E, Very nice. Why don't you call the seedlings "grafting stock?" Also remember...duplicates, and future give aways don't count either. Now that should make some room at the inn. |
Emily, those are some great-looking cuttings! Quite a nice collection you're growing there! I'm afraid to contact Michelle for fear she'll have some terrific deal on something I'd like yet don't need, lol. That's how I ended up with 60 this year! A great buy here, a gift from a friend there, an I-have-to-have-this-one-or-I'll-die there and, BAM!, you're up to your ears in sticks before you know it. |
Just wanted to chime in with my purchase from Michelle. I also like how she is patient with all your "do you have this?" questions too. She is a very nice lady, super friendly an if she doesn't have what you're looking for she will go to another resource to get your desired plant. I also like how if she has multiple cuttings, she gives you the option to choose which one you want -- most vendors just pluck you one and mail it off. Also wrapping tubes around the tips -- LOVE IT! No broken branches here. I got a Vera Cruz Rose, 2 tipper plus a bonus cutting -- Keiki. :) |
Hi kim319...how long were the cuttings? I am hoping to order, just want as long as I can get. roxanne |
Rox146, Mine was around 12-14'' -- I tend to go for the smaller sized cuttings but she does have some larger ones. If she has several of the same variety, she lets you choose which one you want (size & tips). ;) |
sounds great...we are in the cooler part of Calif.====Ventura to be exact, and in the past ordering from FC, the colors seem to be so much more vivid in Florida heat. Will ask her if she knows of some gorgeous smelly ones better for my area. mahalo, roxanne |
K, I like the way you think!!! haha! I figure the seedlings can't ALL be keepers so hopefully they won't take 5 years+ to bloom! And my neighbor has commented several times on how much she likes my plants so I'm going to give her a plumie to grow - you're right, making room as we speak! haha! Thanks Jen!!! I am SO excited about the plants I have! I feel really lucky to have them & pretty much every one makes me go, "Ooohh, I LOVE that one!" like just when you think you found your favorite and then the next one is just as fabulous! And yes, if you contact Michelle you WILL find something you love! Kim, those look fantastic!!! Great choice and really nice looking cuttings!!! I do particularly love the way she wraps the tips so carefully - none of mine were broken either. I agree about her really working with you to help find the right one. Rox, let us know what you get!!! |
Hi Everyone! Thank you all for the kind words!!! I really appreciate all the great reviews and am very glad everyone has been satisfied with the plumeria they have received. Any questions, requests or problems, never hesitate to give me a shout. I'm finally ready to put the list on "Word"...sorry for all the delay!! I'll be sending it out to any e-mail address that were requests so if anyone would like a copy, just mail me and a copy will be coming your way. Thanks again guys! mea |
I want to endorse Michelle too. I just received from her 2 beautiful cuttings less than a week ago. A 2-tip Kimo and a 1-tip (but tall) Keiki Lavender as a freebie from her. Although USPS didn't really care about the FRAGILE writing on all 6 sides of the box and played catch with it (I think), the cuttings were so well packed inside the box that no tip suffered any bit of damage. Oh, and I forgot to tell: they are rooted! Michelle is just amazing! Thank you again Michelle! |
Does she have a website we can check out? Mike |
I don't know, I'm sorry. I emailed her here. :) |
Many thanks for all the kind words and positive support!! I'm gratified to know everyone has been pleased with their plumeria and it sounds like the extra padding has really come in handy as the "fragile' boxes are drop-kicked from PO to PO. At any rate, I'll be posting rooted and rooting plumeria as I work through the collection. All will be up for sale either here on the forum or on Scary Bay. Only keeping my absolute favorites!! Also have some Adenium obesum & arabicum available as well. Contact mail is firstname.lastname@example.com |
Sorry, do not have a web site. Basically advertising through Pinterest in a fashion. The really good sites are extremely expensive as a whole and sale returns go right back into the plants. |

Hello, Newbie to the forum here, * hi everyone :D* I've been reading here and decided I'd better join or lose out on information I seek 0_o, LOL,, I saw the email addy for a vendor, and wrote but havent gotten a reply yet. I'm looking for Jane morenge(sp) and any plums with orange/dark pink colors, I see one of you got some awesome plums mailed to you and very carefully wrapped WOW, what a thoughtful considerate way to mail! I have two plumeria's bought at a local nursery, they didn't know the names just labeled Plumeria, I assume now they are just Noids, guess I could name them my self .but just couldn't register them :(,, But that's how I got started , and have been researching them since! I'm so addicted now, it's like a quest to find the ones I want! here is a couple of pictures of the ones I have now, Thanks for any info you can give me . and I hope I hear from the person you listed above as a vendor! ** Hmmm I was trying to put 2 pictures here, will only let me put one??*** |

I think I've decided I really do want orange plumeria as next on my list I really hope I hear from plumygirl soon ! |
- Posted by blooms4me2 8b (My Page) on Sat, Sep 7, 13 at 11:16
waaaaaaaaaaa I haven't gotten a response from the email yet to the vendor listed on the very first post,, I've used the addy twice now with no response, are you sure that is the right email addy for plumygirl?? |

I'm not sure what was the email first posted but here's the one I'm using: firstname.lastname@example.com. I hope she won't mind me posting it here but I know she doesn't check in here very often. Mima Here is Kimo I got from her. It took her a few good weeks to adjust after the bumpy trip she had but she's pushing leaves out now and she seems happy. :) |

Reading again the posts here I noticed she already posted her (new) email from SeasidePlumeria. So write her there, I'm sure she's get back to you. Here's my Keiki Lavender I got from her: |

Thank you so much for the info I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know the new Addy :D |
Hi everyone!!! I REALLY miss posting here, hopefully I'll be able to visit with you all again soon! blooms4me, the address I have for Michelle is the one given above and should be the most current, as I have spoken to her within the last few days. |
- Posted by blooms4me2 8b (My Page) on Sun, Sep 8, 13 at 0:22
Thank you so much, I will contact her again thru that addy,, I'm working hard to learn about plumes I know I have a wish list for sure LOL,, Nice to meet you all, this is a great friendly group here! |
- Posted by SagoLover 10a SoCal (email@example.com) on Sun, Sep 8, 13 at 0:38
Blooms4me, glad I could help. She posted that email address above but with so many posts it got lost. She's a very fine lady, you'll love doing business with her. Keep us posted. And your yellow plumie is just gorgeous. I love yellows a lot. :) Mima |
This post was edited by SagoLover on Sun, Sep 8, 13 at 0:39
Blooms, welcome to the club! I think your new yellow looks a lot like Aztec Gold, but can't be sure. It's lovely, though! Check out Florida Colors for a huge selection and great service. Brad's Buds and Blooms is also very good. Maui Plumeria Gardens sends out the fattest cuttings, very carefully wrapped, and throws in a mystery usually, too. |
Oh, and forgot to add Plumeria World, which is the Jim Little Farms outlet for his wonderful cultivars. For a small charge they will root any cutting for you, too. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Plumeria World

Jandey and Sagolover you guys are awesome! thanks so very much! I was wondering what my yellow one was,, aztec gold would be nice ! soo many names for such similar looking plumies! LOL |
And don't forget Wendy at Double Peak Plumeria on Facebook... who continues to be my all-time fav seller even though I have probably been long forgotten since I've been good and not bought anything lately. :) |
Emily and everyone, thank you so much for so many wonderful comments and recommendations!! Just glad everyone has been happy with their plumeria. Blooms4me2, I checked but have not seen any direct mail from you. The computer has been a little wiggie lately but if you could, just re-send. Unfortunately I don't get the chance to check up on gmail, Roxanne if I bypassed you many apologies! Sticking with the SeaSide address for now...less confusion. Thanks again...you guys are the best! |

I too can vouch for Michelle. I have purchased several plumeria from her and all have been I great condition. Lonnie |

"A.S.O. v3+ REIGNS SUPREME"
Version: Advanced System Optimizer 3.5.1000.13999
Lately A.S.O. Has been the reigning king of the all-in-one suites as no lockups or hangs as with earlier versions the security malware blocking module would lock system up hang and have to be shut off at TaskManager, NOT SO in the last two months, superb performance. ok with that being said, to You both, I now in reply to:
Yes A.S.O. v3+ Not ONLY CLAIMS TO FIX HARD DRIVE ERRORS... '"IT DOES BY ALL MEANS'" AS do some other utilities (names withheld). In fact (if one scans for surface errors on the suspect hard drive) it sets bad sectors (if any are encountered during scan) as allocated so they will not be used again (if one wants that) and so yeah in effect it 'TRULY FIXES DRIVE ISSUES' Drive lifespans (on 24/7) vary, but I replace my drives after they have been in use (and health of them declines to under 48%) after being on 24/7 for 2-3 years they are bound to fail depending upon the quality of said drive(s)... w.d. velociraptors can go many years without replacement and after 3 years my two 300GB drives are still well over 70-73% health. BUT I paid hefty for them also... SEE END OF SUMMARY FOR (MORE INFO ON THIS)Summary
At any rate; Hands down the clear winner of the all-in-one maintenance/ security/ tweak/ 'fix it' suites is by far A.S.O. v3+ (latest 10/2012 version) I have tried them all (names with-held) which to date the number is at: 16 suites tried, A.S.O. still is hands down the one that I have installed on all five (5) PC's here. Why? It covers (nearly 98% of all Our major PC concerns here, and it is 98% automated (once a schedule is set for each module) AND it leaves not a thing out that concerns me whatsoever. Auslogic's Boost Speed V5.x+ and above includes (some) a few additional tweaks that A.S.O. does not have, but they are nice-a-ties is all they are. A.S.O. includes heaps more than A.B.S. and overall ranks a lot higher it includes it all (nearly), and so:
Maintenance/ Security/ Tweak/ Fixer/ Monitor IS:
#1 A.S.O. (Advanced System Optimizer) V3+ *IMDPCUE
#2 AUSLOGIC'S BOOST SPEED V5.x ( Fabulous Suite, but has a few more bugs than A.S.O., yet includes a few nice-a-ties A.S.O. Does not include that let You set some system registries to allow/ dis-allow minor settings such as messaging the user and User GUI settings within the O.S. and related softwares for overall User XPerience(s). A.S.O. has more that matters, and handles those matters nicely and automatically. and that's why it's #1 with Us here. Cheers to set it forget it computing!
My lower quality drives (on 24/7 same amount of time) are at 53% health! The life of solid state drives is a lot less, as the chips wear out sooner than platter media (legacy drives). Single switching drives which big companies use (single cell memory) last a lengthier time, and are much faster, but lifespans of SSD's are far shorter than that of platter media (legacy drives). You pay hefty for multi-switch SSD's and extremely more-so for single-switch SSD's. -
"Why the negative reviews?"
Version: Advanced System Optimizer 3.5.1000.13999
This program works great and has an excellent antimalware in it.
Driver Updator sucks.
Great Ultitiies thats why it is #1
"Excellent utility for PC"
Version: Advanced System Optimizer 3.5.1000.13999
easy and fast, does its job well.
no complaints so far.
It's better than most programs of this category.
"Rubbish Rubbish Rubbish is a rip off"
Version: Advanced System Optimizer 3.5.1000.13999
Rubbish Rubbish Rubbish is a rip off
Rubbish Rubbish Rubbish is a rip off
Rubbish x 10 Rubbish Rubbish all this stuff is a rip off
"The product has become a daily use tool for me."
Version: Advanced System Optimizer 3.5.1000.13999
Managing the startup processes have become easier and the Registry Repair and Temporary File Clean-Up is just a 1 click matter now. Routine updates keep the product upto mark.
no cons as such.
"Advanced System Optimizer is the best malware program."
Version: Advanced System Optimizer 3.5.1000.13999
It does everything, from checking and removing malware to defragging.
I have not found any cons yet.
It is the best all around software for my PC I have used to date!!
"This Includes A Security Tool."
Version: Advanced System Optimizer 3.5.1000.13999
Nice concept of developing an all in 1 product. Most importantly there is an Antispyware also in this suite.
Worth for $ as if gonna buy Individual Tools then it may raise the expense to more then 10 times.
Almost everything is there.Cons
The complete PC scan with various utilities some times take more time. Else is fine.
"Downloaded the product went downhill from there"
Version: Advanced System Optimizer 3.5.1000.13999
No Pros, after it was used, it destroyed my computer to the point it wouldn't work--cost me 300 dollars to fix it using the toll free help number provided by Advanced System Optimizer--bad deal all the way around--stay away from their registry fixer--much better to go to a computer company or the Geeks at best buy and have them optimize your computer
The Registry fixer takes out everything---a computer technician should be the only person using this program--it even kept system restore from working--changed the screen layout--slowed the computer to a snails pace--really screwed up my computer--cost 300 dollars to fix using their company
Do not buy and C-net should not recommend it--NOBODY SHOULD RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT
Do not buy nor use unless you are an expert on computers. The Registry cleaner etc totally put my computer out of commission. It even disabled the restore to a different time option. Changed the display to a resolution that was so low it was hard to read. They had a help number to call and I did. Cost 300 dollars to fix my computer.
Advance Optimizer ran a scan and showed hundreds of errors--the computer was just scanned by a tech and there were some errors but mostly in the registry and didn't even come close to 100 much less 1000--might dump a bunch of stuff onto your computer to make you think you need their program--something rotten in Denmark as the old saying goes--had to buy the program to fix the problems--it pretty much wiped out my computer when they ran the fix especially the registry cleaner--only let a trained technician do this

"I like it..."

Can be used in routine to keep the overall system optimized as the name suggests.... Advanced System Optimizer.Cons
Why is it compulsory to add Cons ?
"Medium, no match for Toolwiz,no Registry cleaner"

Adoption Assistance Information
This document contains information on who to contact, who is eligible, post adoption services, and more.
November is National Adoption Month
National Adoption Day is a national collective effort to raise awareness of the 118,000 children in foster care waiting to find permanent, loving families. Through a collaborative effort for six years between courts, judges, attorneys, and advocates, National Adoption Day has helped to finalize adoptions. National Adoption Month began more than 25 years ago. In 1976, the Governor of Massachusetts first proclaimed Adoption Week and, later that year, President Gerald Ford made it official nationally. The number of States proclaiming the observance of Adoption Week in November grew, and in 1990, National Adoption Week became National Adoption Month.

Few men have embodied the romantic myth of the unconventional artist like Modigliani. "Modì" was tortured by a life of debauchery, had countless romances and drowned out the world in wine and absinthe: his history is short, but intense, dramatic and memorable.
A rich and carefully curated selection of works from the Pompidou Center in Paris will be on display in Pisa's impressive Palazzo Blu. These will hang alongside the magnificent masterpieces from some major collections — public and private, Italian and international, recreating the cultural atmosphere in which Modigliani worked.
It is in the Paris of the avant-garde and the Fauves — and among friends like Marc Chagall, Max Jacob, Georges Braque, and Jean Cocteau — that the tortured artist and tombeur de femmes developed his poetic aesthetic, strongly influenced by Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec and Cézanne.

According to the "Project Overview," Digital Durham "offers students, teachers, and researchers a range of primary sources with which they can investigate the economic, social, cultural, and political history of a post-bellum southern community.״ These include a variety of letters written by elite members of the community, as well as ״entries from Atlas Rigsbee's general store ledger [that] together with data from the 1880 census provide a view into the social experience of those Durham citizens who have not left written documents. Taken together the new materials on Digital Durham touch on over 600 topics including African American business enterprise, the emergence of textiles, tobacco production and marketing, child labor, prohibition, evangelical revivalism, nineteenth-century medical practices, women's experience of childbirth, and public and private education.״The site has six main pages: ״Home," "Project Overview," "Browse Collection,״ ״Reference," "Teachers' Corner," and "In the News.״ The "Teachers' Corner contains a general introduction into using the searchable census material on the site along with two lesson plans, one designed for fourth grade and one for eighth grade. On the "Reference" page, there are links to ״The Geography of the Piedmont Region," a ״Glossary of terms used in the 1880 census of Durham, North Carolina," and "Census Help .״ "In the News" has links to articles discussing the Digital Durham Project. People can browse the collection using the Library of Congress Subject Headings or by eight main categories, including maps, business records, personal papers, and photographs. Users can also search the collection.
